Bio:The first Savage Steel was a vigilante who was controlled by a group called the Cabal. This group was made up for former and present police officers. The Cabal took payoffs from criminals to finance the Savage Steel project (which would produce the original Savage Steel armor, created by former employees of Stane Technologies) to be used against their war on crime. Their agenda was to show criminals everywhere that they were not safe... anywhere.

This caused several run-in's with the hero Darkhawk, and at one point, The Punisher as well.
